ACTION RESEARCH
Action research is research based on teachers’ first-hand experiences, contextualized by local settings, supported by school-generated data, and answering specific educational needs of well-defined stakeholders” – Wong, 2004
Our staff regularly conduct action research to tackle learning issues they face in the classroom. Examples of action research conducted and conference submissions are
